A player showcases an impressive PC with two graphics cards and two processors. He uses all the hardware to play with LEGO. In his daily life, he uses software to develop digital LEGO content.
A user has shown his current computer on Reddit. The special thing about the setup is that he has installed two processors and two graphics cards at the same time. Most gamers typically have one CPU and one graphics card installed.
What hardware does he have installed?
- Motherboard: Huananzhi X99-F8D Plus
- CPU: 2x Xeon E5-2698 v4
- GPU: 2x GTX 1660 Super
- RAM: 128 GB
- Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2
How good is the hardware? When looking at the hardware, one quickly realizes that it consists of older components: The Xeon E5-2698 v4 is a model from 2016, and the GTX 1660 Super is also several years old.
You won’t be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 at 200 FPS with this setup. The processor is so outdated, that it no longer meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11.
Outdated hardware for creating LEGO models
What does he do with the system? The user explains on Reddit that he does not use his computer as a gaming PC. Instead, he uses his PC to build LEGO: On his PC, he primarily uses the software “Bricklink Studio,” which allows users to create virtual LEGO pieces, render designs, and subsequently create instructions.
The most important thing is that this is not a gaming PC. I built it because I found the idea of having two CPUs interesting, and I was able to reuse most of my old computer for this. Additionally, this PC will be heavily used by the software “Studio” from Bricklink, so yes, I built this PC to play with LEGO.
The Bricklink software is especially popular in the so-called “MOC” scene. MOC stands for “My Own Creation” and refers to users who design their own sets and creations using building blocks.
Especially Chinese manufacturers are criticized for frequently copying MOCs without permission and reselling them as their own sets, while the original designers receive neither financial compensation nor permission to use their designs. This practice is seen by many fans and the community as an infringement of intellectual property rights.
A player buys an old gaming PC for 84 Euros. With a new graphics card, he can extract significantly more from the hardware. However, this does not change the fact that the PC is overall hopelessly outdated: Player buys a 14-year-old gaming PC for 84 Euros, and a simple update is almost enough to play modern titles
